Cotton Quotes

This isn’t a mob, won’t need to change the names. Everyone around you has murdered someone, something sacred. There isn’t one nail without dirt under it.

If you had to constitute new societies, you might on moral and social grounds prefer cornfields to cotton factories, an agricultural to a manufacturing population. But our lot is cast, and we cannot recede Picture Quote #1

Her bra was cotton and white and, bless its little frickin´ heart, had a front clasp Picture Quote #1

Charlotte once ran away from me, outside the studio, and I grabbed her dress to stop her, to keep her near me. A yellow cotton dress I loved because it was too long for her Picture Quote #1

The New York Times, whose editorial department sounds like Cotton Mather rewriting Eleanor Roosevelt Picture Quote #1

To value the tradition of, and the discipline required for, the craft of fiction seems today pointless. The real Arcadia is a lonely, mountainous plateau, overbouldered and strewn with the skulls of sheep slain for vellum and old bitten pinions that tried to be quills. It’s forty rough miles by mule from Athens, a city where there’s a fair, a movie house, cotton candy Picture Quote #1

After all those days in the cotton fields, the dreams came true on a gold record on a piece of wood. It’s in my den where I can look at it every day. I wear it out lookin’ at it Picture Quote #1

African Americans were responsible for creating a lot of this beautiful and elaborate ironwork; we weren’t just working in the cotton fields Picture Quote #1
